The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:37:00 at Manchester 2024 put Ian Poulton 1,202nd of 1,206 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 9:45 behind the median. A harder second half: 9:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 8:47, behind 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
